The 1929 season was a quiet one in the Atlantic . Only three tropical cyclones formed during the season, all of them reaching Hurricane strength. One skimmed extreme south Florida as a Category 2 and another hit central Texas as a Category 1 . The other stayed out to sea. The 1929 Florida Hurricane was the most notable. In the Keys , roofs were torn off houses; Debris was thrown through the air, and Small Craft were sunk in the harbors. It grazed the southwest coast and struck again at the Big Bend area as a strong Tropical Storm . The storm dissipated inland. The Texas hurricane struck near Freeport , which was the only town to suffer much damage from it.
